[Beowulf] WORKSHOP: SC16 HPC Systems Pros Mon Nov 14: submissions due Fri Aug 19

[Prentice Bisbal]

Beowulfers,

This year at SC16 will be the inaugural workshop for people like us - 
the system administrators who put these systems together and keep them 
humming along for our users! Please help spread the word. Please forward 
the announcement below to anyone who might be interested. If you have 
any questions, please send them to hpcsyspros at hpcsyspros.lsu.edu.

SUMMARY:

WORKSHOP: Inaugural HPC Systems Professionals (HPCSYSPROS16)
Mon Nov 14 2016 afternoon, Salt Lake City UT USA
Held in conjunction with SC16, The International Conference for
High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
Contact:hpcsyspros at hpcsyspros.lsu.edu
http://hpcsyspros.lsu.edu/

Submission Deadline: Fri Aug 19 2016
Submissions:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpcsyspros16

DETAILS:

Supercomputing systems present complex challenges to personnel who
design, deploy and and maintain these systems.

Standing up these systems and keeping them running require novel
solutions that are unique to high performance computing.

The success of any supercomputing center depends on stable and
reliable systems, and HPC Systems Professionals are crucial to
that success.

The Inaugural HPC Systems Professionals Workshop will bring
together systems administrators, systems architects, and systems
analysts in order to share best practices, discuss cutting-edge
technologies, and advance the state-of-the-practice for HPC
systems.

Submissions are encouraged that discuss all aspects of HPC systems
design, implementation, maintenance, and security.

Topics of Interest
---------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Cluster, configuration, or software management
* Performance tuning/Benchmarking
* Resource manager and job scheduler configuration
* Monitoring/Mean-time-to-failure/ROI/Resource utilization
* Virtualization/Clouds
* Designing and troubleshooting HPC interconnects
* Designing and maintaining HPC storage solutions
* Cybersecurity and data protection

Authors are invited to submit original, high-quality papers with
an emphasis on solutions that can be implemented by other members
of the HPC systems community.
